2-amino-1, 4-dihydropyridine derivatives with calcium agonist and alpha.sub. -antagonist activity

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to novel 1,4-dihydropyridines, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and methods of using them to treat congestive heart failure, and more particularly to such 1,4-dihydropyridines which combine both calcium agonist and alpha.sub.1 -antagonist activity and are useful in the treatment of congestive heart failure.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Over the past decade, dihydropyridine calcium antagonists or calcium channel blockers have become widely known therapeutic agents having vasodilator properties which can be used as antihypertensives and coronary dilator agents. These compounds inhibit the entry of calcium into cells, or its mobilization from intracellular stores. More recently, it has been found that small structural modifications of these known compounds produce dihydropyridines with effects diametrically opposed to those of the calcium channel blockers. Dihydropyridines such as Bay K8644 and CGP 28392 (FIG. 1) promote an influx of calcium ions into cells, thereby producing positive inotropic and vasoconstrictor effects. Bay K8644 is more than ten times as potent as CGP 28392 as a calcium agonist. However, Bay K8644 is not useful as a cardiotonic because of its coronary vasoconstricting properties. Therefore it is only useful as a pharmacological tool to ascertain the function of calcium entry blockers. ##STR1##

No. 4,248,873 (Bossert et al.), issued Feb. 3, 1981; European Patent Application 0071819 published Feb. 16, 1983 by Boshagen et al.; and U.S. Pat. No. 4,537,881 (Franckowiak et al.), issued Aug. 27, 1985. Literature references include M. Schram, et al., Nature 303:535 (1983); M. Schram, et al., Arzneium-Forsch, 33:1268 (1983); P. Erne, et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 118:482 (1984). Dihydropyridine calcium agonists which contain an amino group in the 2-position are described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,532,248 (Boshagen et al.), issued Jul. 30, 1985.
Combining calcium agonist properties and alpha.sub.1 -adrenergic blocking properties in a single molecular structure provides a new and attractive approach for the treatment of congestive heart failure. The combination of these two types of activities affords a novel class of cardiotonics which have cardiac stimulatory effects in combination with pronounced vasodilator properties. The detrimental vasoconstricting properties which are normally associated with dihydropyridine calcium agonists are minimized by the alpha.sub.1 -adrenergic blocking properties which cause dilation of the peripheral vasculature. Applicants are not aware of any references that describe this combination of properties in a single compound, other than co-assigned U.S. Pat. No. 4,868,181 (Johnson et al.) issued Sep. 19, 1989.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
SYNTHESIS
According to the present invention, the dihydropyridines of the general formula (I) can be prepared by the processes illustrated below. It is understood that in all of these processes R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.7, R.sup.8, R.sup.9, R.sup.10, Ar, X, Y, A, p, r, Q, n, q are as defined above. ##STR13##
This method is carried out using the process described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,772,596, issued Sep. 20, 1988; H. Meyer, et al., Arzneim.-Forsch. 31:1173, (1981); K. Meguro, et al., Chem. Pharm. Bull, 33:3787 (1987).
The reaction is carried out in a mixture of an equimolar ratio of the starting compounds 2 and 3 in the presence of an alcoholic solvent such as methanol, ethanol i-propanol or n-butanol, an aromatic hydrocarbon such as benzene or toluene, an ether such as tetrahydrofuran (THF) or dioxane, a halogenated hydrocarbon such as chloroform or carbon tetrachloride, an aprotic polar solvent such as acetonitrile, dimethylformamide (DMF) or dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), or other acceptable solvent at a temperature in the range of room temperature to about 200.degree. C., preferably at about 60.degree.-110.degree. C. Separation of the desired product from the reaction mixture is effected by conventional techniques such as filtration, concentration, extraction, column chromatography, recrystallization, etc. ##STR14##
This method is carried out using the procedure described by H. Meyer, et al., Liebigs Ann. Chem., 1476 (1978). The reaction is carried out with an equimolar mixture of compounds 3 and 4 in the presence of a solvent such as described in Method A, using the reaction conditions described in Method A.
Compounds of the formula 3 can be prepared by reacting a cyanoacetic acid ester of formula 8 (NC--CH.sub.2 --COO(A).sub.r --R.sup.11) with ammonia or with an ammonium salt according to a known method [S. A. Glickman, A. C. Cope, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 67:1017 (1945); S. M. McElvain, B. E. Tate, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 73:2760 (1951)]. Compounds of the formula 8 can be prepared by a conventional esterification between cyanoacetic acid or cyanoacetic acid chloride, and an alcohol of formula 9 (HO--(A).sub.r --R.sup.11), where R.sup.11 is defined as Br, Cl, I, tosylate (OTs), mesylate (OMs), or triflate (OTf).
The compound of formula 3 may be, and preferably is, employed in the form of an acid addition salt, for example a salt with hydrochloric acid or acetic acid. Where such a salt is used, it is preferred that a base, for example an alkali metal alkoxide (such as sodium methoxide or sodium ethoxide) should be added to the reaction mixture, preferably in an equimolar amount.
Compound of the formula 3, where R.sup.5 is NO.sub.2, has been reported in the literature [H. Mertens, R. Troschutz, Arch. Pharm. 319:14 (1986)].
Compounds of the formula 2 may be prepared (Scheme 1) by the dehydrating condensation of an aldehyde 5 with compounds of the formula 6 according to a known method [e.g., G. Jones, "Knoevenagel Condensation" in Org. Reactions Vol. 15, 204 (1967)], or the condensation of compounds of the formula 7 with compounds of the formula 6 according to the procedure described by I. Morita, et al., Chem. Pharm. Bull. 36:1139 (1988). ##STR15##
Compounds of the formula CyCHO (5) are commercially available, or may be prepared by methods described in the literature. The heterocyclic aldehydes used as intermediates are available by methods described in standard works on heterocyclic chemistry such as Katritzsky and Rees, Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry, Vols. 2-5, Pergamon Press, N.Y., 1984. In some instances, the preparation of the hydroxymethyl compounds are described in the literature. These can be converted to the corresponding aldehydes by known methods, such as oxidation with manganese dioxide, or dimethysulfoxide activated with oxalyl chloride.
Compounds of the formula 13 may be prepared according to Method C. Compound 10 (where X' is NR.sup.4, O, or S and R.sup.12 is CO.sub.2 R.sup.4 or CH.sub.2 OH (or a protected alcohol)) is alkylated with an appropriate connector chain 11 to give compound 12. This reaction is carried out in the presence of an aromatic hydrocarbon such as benzene or toluene, a halogenated hydrocarbon such as dichloromethane or carbon tetrachloride, an ether such as THF or DME, or an aprotic solvent such as acetonitrile or DMF, in the presence of a base such as potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, or sodium hydride, at a temperature in the range of about -20.degree. C. to 200.degree. C., preferably of about 25.degree. C. to 150.degree. C. Separation of the desired product from the reaction mixture is effected by conventional operations such as filtration, concentration, extraction, column chromatography or recrystallization. ##STR16## Compounds of the formulas 14, 15, 16 and 17 may be purchased commercially, or prepared according to the methods described by S. F. Campbell, et al., J. Med. Chem. 30, 49, 999, 1794 (1987), and by other methods reported in the literature. ##STR17##
Compounds of the formula 21 may be prepared according to Method D. Compound 19 (prepared from 2 and 18) is converted to the carboxylic acid with a fluoride source, such as tetrabutylammonium fluoride or hydrogen fluoride. Treatment with 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole provides the activated imidazolide 20, which may be reacted with alcohols of the type R.sup.7 OH to produce 21. ##STR18##
As shown in Method E, compounds of the formulas 23 and 25 may be prepared by reacting compounds of the formulas 22 and 24 with amines 14 or 15 or 16 or 17, respectively. The reaction is carried out by reacting 22 or 24 with amines 14 or 15 or 16 or 17 in a molar ratio of 1.0:1.0 to 1.0:4.0 in the presence of a base such as potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, triethylamine or sodium hydroxide. The reaction is performed in the presence of an alcoholic solvent such as methanol, ethanol, i-propanol or n-butanol, an aromatic hydrocarbon such as benzene or toluene, an ether such as tetrahydrofuran (THF) or dioxane, a halogenated hydrocarbon such as chloroform or carbon tetrachloride, an aprotic polar solvent such as acetonitrile, dimethylformamide (DMF) or dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), or the like at a temperature in the range of about room temperature to 200.degree. C., preferably at about 25.degree.-110.degree. C. Separation of the desired product from the reaction mixture is effected by conventional techniques such as filtration, concentration, extraction, column chromatography, recrystallization, etc.
This method is also applicable for compounds of the formula 24, where Y or Z is substituted for X. ##STR19## where X is NR.sup.4 or S, 25 can be oxidized to R.sup.4 N.fwdarw.O (N.fwdarw.O means N-oxide) or SO or SO.sub.2, respectively, with an oxidizing agent such as hydrogen peroxide, peracetic acid or m-chloroperbenzoic acid.
Compounds of the formula 27, where R.sup.12A is S or O, (Method F) may be prepared according to procedures described in the literature, such as I. Sircar, et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 29, 6835 (1988) and U.S. Pat. No. 4,642,310, issued Feb. 10, 1987. ##STR20##
The above preparation processes are given merely for illustration. The preparation of the compounds of the formula (I) is not limited to these processes, but any modification of these processes can be applied in the same manner to the preparation of the compounds according to the invention.
A resulting basic compound can be converted into a corresponding acid addition salt by reacting it with an inorganic or organic acid as is well known to one skilled in the art. Therapeutically useful acids include, for example, inorganic acids, such as hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, phosphoric or nitric acid, or organic acids, such as formic, acetic, propionic, succinic, maleic, fumaric, tartaric or ascorbic acids.

UTILITY
The compounds of this invention have been found to possess both Ca.sup.2+ channel activity, preferably Ca.sup.2+ agonist activity, and alpha.sub.1 -antagonist activity. These pharmacological properties of the compounds of this invention were evaluated in the following pharmacological experiments.
DETERMINATION OF AFFINITY FOR ALPHA.sub.1 -ADRENOCEPTORS
The [.sup.3 H]-prazosin binding assay was carried out according to the method described by Timmermans, P. B. M. W. M., Schoop, A. M. C., and Van Zwieten, P. A., Biochem. Pharmacol. 31, 899-905 (1982). The reaction mixture contained partially purified rat brain membranes (source of alpha.sub.1 -adrenoceptors), 0.2 nM [.sup.3 H]-prazosin with or without potential displacer in Tris buffer. The mixture was incubated for 60 minutes at 25.degree. and subsequently terminated by rapid filtration through glass fiber-filter. Receptor-bound [.sup.3 H]-prazosin trapped in the filter was quantitated by scintillation counting. The inhibitory concentration (IC.sub.50) of potential displacer which gives 50% displacement of the total specifically bound [.sup.3 H]-prazosin is presented as a measure of the affinity of such compound for the alpha.sub.1 -adrenoceptor.
DETERMINATION OF AFFINITY FOR CALCIUM CHANNELS
[.sup.3 H]-Nitrendipine binding assay was carried out according to the method described by G. T. Bolger, et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Comm. 104, 1604-1609 (1982). The reaction mixture contained rat cardiac microsomes (source of Ca.sup.2+ channels), 0.5 nM [.sup.3 H]-nitrendipine with or without potential displacer in Tris buffer. The mixture was incubated for 60 minutes at 25.degree. and subsequently terminated by rapid filtration through a glass fiber-filter. Membrane-bound [.sup.3 H]-nitrendipine trapped in the filter was quantitated by scintillation counting. The inhibitory concentration (IC.sub.50) of potential displacer which gives 50% displacement of the total specifically bound [.sup.3 H]-nitrendipine is presented as a measure of the affinity of such compound for the Ca.sup.2+ channel.

PROTOCOL FOR POSITIVE INOTROPIC EFFECT IN GUINEA PIG LEFT ATRIA
Guinea pigs are killed by cervical dislocation. The left atria are removed and mounted at 1 gm resting tension in tissue baths containing oxygenated Krebs bicarbonate solution which is kept at 37.degree.. The left atria are electrically paced at 2 Hz with square wave pulses of 1 msec duration. The voltage is set at 1.5.times.threshold level.
After a one hour equilibration period, control values for developed tension (DT, gm) are recorded. Test compounds are then added to the baths, in a cumulative manner to a maximum concentration of 10.sup.-4, to obtain a concentration-response curve. Treatment values of DT are obtained after the drug effect has reached a plateau and the exposure time for each concentration is 5-8 minutes. Percent change of the treatment value from the control value is calculated at each concentration of the test compound. The results are shown in Table 4 below.

DOSAGE FORMS
Compound of this invention can be administered to treat said deficiencies by any means that produces contact of the active agent with the agent's site of action in the body of the mammal. The compounds can be administered by any conventional means available for use in conjunction with pharmaceuticals, either as individual therapeutic agents or in a combination of therapeutic agents. They can be administered alone, but are generally administered with a pharmaceutical carrier selected on the basis of the chosen route of administration and standard pharmaceutical practice.
The dosage administered will, of course, vary depending on the use and known factors such as the pharmacodynamic characteristics of the particular agent, and its mode and route of administration; age, health, and weight of the recipient; nature and extent of symptoms, kind of concurrent treatment, frequency of treatment, and the effect desired. For use in the treatment of said diseases, a daily dosage of active ingredient can be about 50to 1000 mg.
Dosage forms (compositions) suitable for administration contain about 1 milligram to about 100 milligrams of active ingredient per unit. In these pharmaceutical compositions the active ingredient will ordinarily be present in an amount of about 0.5-95% by weight based on the total weight of the composition.
The active ingredient can be administered orally in solid dosage forms, such as capsules, tablets, and powders, or in liquid dosage forms, such as elixirs, syrups, and suspensions or parenterally, in sterile liquid dosage forms. Alternatively it can be administered sublingually by tablets, gels, pastes, patches or lozenges.
Gelatin capsules contain the active ingredient and powdered carriers, such as lactose, starch, cellulose derivatives, magnesium stearate, stearic acid, and the like. Similar diluents can be used to make compressed tablets. Both tablets can be sugar coated to mask any unpleasant taste and protect the tablet from the atmosphere, or enteric coated for selective disintegration in the gastrointestinal tract.
Liquid dosage forms for oral administration can contain coloring and flavoring to increase patient acceptance.
In general, water, a suitable oil, saline, aqueous dextrose (glucose), and related sugar solutions and glycols such as propylene glycol or polyethylene glycols are suitable carriers for parenteral solutions. Solutions for parenteral administration preferably contain a water soluble salt of the active ingredient, suitable stabilizing agents, and if necessary, buffer substances. Antioxidizing agents such as sodium bisulfite, sodium sulfite, or ascorbic acid, either alone or combined, are suitable stabilizing agents. Also used are citric acid and its salts and sodium EDTA. In addition, parenteral solutions can contain preservatives, such as benzalkonium chloride, methyl or propyl-paraben, and chlorobutanol. Suitable pharmaceutical carriers are described in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, A. Osol, 17th Ed. (1985) a standard reference text in this field.
Useful pharmaceutical dosage forms for administration of the compounds of this invention can be illustrated as follows:
CAPSULES
A large number of unit capsules are prepared by filling standard two-piece hard gelatin capsules each with 100 milligrams of powdered active ingredient, 150 milligrams of lactose, 50 milligrams of cellulose, and 6 milligrams magnesium stearate.
SOFT GELATIN CAPSULES
A mixture of active ingredient in a digestible oil such as soybean oil, cottonseed oil or olive oil is prepared and injected by means of a positive displacement pump into gelatin to form soft gelatin capsules containing 100 milligrams of the active ingredient. The capsules are washed and dried.
TABLETS
A large number of tablets are prepared by conventional procedures so that the dosage unit is 100 milligrams of active ingredients, 0.2 milligrams of colloidal silicon dioxide, 5 milligrams of magnesium stearate, 275 milligrams of microcrystalline cellulose, 11 milligrams of starch and 98.8 milligrams of lactose. Appropriate coatings may be applied to increase palatability or delay absorption.
INJECTABLE
A parenteral composition suitable for administration by injection is prepared by stirring 1.5% by weight of active ingredient in 10% by volume propylene glycol. The solution is made to volume with water for injection and sterilized.
SUSPENSION
An aqueous suspension is prepared for oral administration so that each 5 milliliters contain 100 milligrams of finely divided active ingredient, 100 milligrams of sodium benzoate, 1.0 grams of sorbitol solution, U.S.P., and 0.025 milliliters of vanillin.
